CHERYL'S UNDER $10 TASTING TONIGHT! (Fri, June 12, 6-8 pm) Looking for a fun way to celebrate the start of a summer weekend? Stop by the tasting bar TONIGHT, Friday, June 12 from 6-8 pm, for Cheryl's Under $10 tasting! Doubt that you can still find original, distinctive, character-filled wines for less than ten bucks? Then this tasting is for you! Stop by and sample a range of reds and whites from around the world, including: - A fresh new vintage of a fresh Italian white
- A rich, apricot-filled Australian Chardonnay
- An all-new Chianti that won't break the bank
- A spicy, splashy hands-down staff favorite from Spain
As usual, you'll enjoy the tasting bar discount on these already affordable prices. Or mix up a case of the wines being tasted and take a special discount of 15% off! STOP IN SATURDAY FOR AN ARTISANAL COFFEE TASTING (June 13, 11-1 pm) 
Whether you enjoy it hot or iced, there's nothing like a rich, expertly brewed cup of joe to pick you up! And as with wine, the quality is in the details. In the case of coffee, that means the best types of beans grown in the best coffee-growing regions of the world. But that's only where it begins. Careful handling of quality beans is critical, from roasting, to grinding to brewing. That's where Counter Culture comes in. An artisanal microbrewer based in Durham, North Carolina, Counter Culture acts just like our best chocolate producers: working directly with growers of the beans, then micromanaging every aspect of the process to make sure you get the most intense flavors that the beans have to offer. Want to learn how you can brew the best cup of joe? Stop by the tasting bar THIS Saturday from 11-1 for a special FREE tasting featuring some of Counter Culture's best varieties. The tasting will be presented by resident coffee expert Chris Phair, who can answer all your coffee questions. Plus, you'll enjoy special discounts on Counter Culture! Hope to see you there! | | RESERVE NOW FOR CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE | RESERVE NOW FOR CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE AT SIGNATURE THEATRE! (Tuesday, June 16, 6:30-8:30 pm) Love chocolate?
